Sox (Dwaft X) is now about 12 weeks. Right from Day 2 she has never had a problem with peeing in the litter tray, a small Hi-Back Corner Tray. She is getting bigger so I bought a rectangle cat littler tray for her. She has been using this for weeks. Her Hi-Back tray now goes in the play pen when she is out there.
Suddenly her peeing habits have changed. She has had this rectangle litter tray for week! Sox always like to pee in the 2 corners of the tray. Her tray is put flush to the hutch walls. I noticed she has started to pee in her usual two corners including the walls of the hutch. Initially I thought it could be her getting bigger, just her big bum touching the walls. So I moved the litter tray a distance from the walls leaving a gap between the hutch wall and the tray. However I still get urine on the walls on both corners. Is she aiming at such a great distance or is she specially peeing on the wall just to annoy me I wonder? She peed so much that her white pee has dribbled outside of the hutch onto the floor and I can smell it! Sox has never ever made my house stink.
So what is the problem I don't understand. Is she doing it intentionally as it's time for spaying? So is this how they are suppose to act when there's talk about spaying? I have no idea. Or is it something simple, just a matter of buying a new High-Back tray. Is there such a thing as a rectangular High-Back Tray? Is there any way I can convert a normal tray to a High-Back tray?
What should I do? What is a normal behaviour of an unspayed rabbit?
